Re: Accessible Sound Design by Ebon Sky Studios - Second Lesson Up
@191 Use A, not S. A will do what you want, it's an Osara custom action so I think that's why Brian doesn't mention it. But it makes a single slice, no time selection is needed when you use this method. A bit of something that hasn't been covered yet, but if you hit Alt P, you'll switch through the ripple modes, make sure it says ripple per track, then select the unwanted item and delete it. When you do that, you'll cause the new item to back up into the previous item's space. This is what ripple does, and you will not have to manually position it. For now though, turn it off when you're done with it, or you'll get frustrated real quick when you forget it's on and weird stuff keeps happening. If you did want to use the time selection method, make your selection and then hit home to get to the start of the selection, then hit shift S to make the cuts. What this does is selects the item under the cursor then slices. It's an Osara custom action. If for some reason, it says 0 items, make sure your edit cursor is inside the selection, then hit shift A then shift S. Shift A is an Osara action that causes the item to be selected which lies under your edit cursor. It stops you from having to do the control right control left jig.
@190 I never do that, maybe try cut and paste, but select the track first. Paste will go after the track you're on. You could also use insert track, which would place an empty track above the one you're on, make sure it's in the right place, then turn numpad on and use 8 once you've selected the items you want, which will move them up to the previous track, do that as needed until they get there. So if you inserted a track above track 4 and the stuff you want to move is on track 6, you'd numpad 8 3 times, 6, 5, 4, new track. Numpad 2 is the opposite of that, going down instead.
Healing items, I've never got working, gluing I have. A caution though, gluing is destructive because it renders out a new item. I'd take the item you want to end up last, grab it with control X, select the one that's meant to come first, then hit control shift period to jump to the end of it, paste it, go back to the previous one, then select both items, just add a shift to control right, then hit control U to glue. It would work I think for as many as you wanted to do, it might even pad the distance between them with silence if they don't butt up against each other but I've never tried that, so I can't say for sure.
